The Acer Predator 17 G9-793-77LG (Predator 17 Series) 2TB / 64GB is Acer's 2017 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 40 x 423 x 322 ( = 1.57 x 16.65 x 12.68 in) display, the Intel Core i7-6700HQ 4c/8t 4 x 2.6 - 3.5 GHz (Intel Core i7) chipset. At AED 1,899 in the UAE and ₹46,990 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The Acer Predator 17 G9-793-77LG excels with its Intel Core i7-6700HQ and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Mobile with 8GB GDDR5 VRAM, delivering strong 1080p gaming performance even under sustained loads. The 32GB DDR4-2400 RAM in dual-channel mode ensures smooth multitasking, while the 88Wh battery offers up to 4.5 hours under light use. It’s built for gamers who need a desktop-class GPU in a portable form, especially those running older AAA titles or creative apps like Blender. Its weakness is thermal throttling under prolonged stress—fan noise spikes and CPU/GPU clocks drop after 45 minutes of full load. The 2TB SSD is slow SATA, not NVMe, hurting load times. In UAE at AED 1899, it’s good value because the GTX 1070 still outperforms newer budget laptops. In India at ₹46990, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen 7 laptops with RTX 3050 and NVMe storage offer better efficiency and speed for the same cost.
